Hello,

seem to e a bug in the notification display. see attached file.

Also

(1) If I make modifications to easysocial core code, would this conflict with subsequent upgrades?

(2) Easysocial seems to have a responsive template of its own and frequently gets toggled with mobile or tablet devices thereby distorting the page layout.(see fig 2 & 3). I would really appreciate some help with ensuring that it is NOT responsive and DOES NOT TOGGLE with my site. (VERY IMPORTANT AND A PRIORITY. HELP OFFERED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED)

(3) How can i edit the login page size to get rid of the huge empty space at the footer (see fig 4) so that is has the size and looks of the community page (see fig 5)
Hi,

1. I need to simulate the notification. Could you provide me the account access to that user so that I can inspect the notification strings directly from the user's notification?

2. Yes if you make modification to the core codes, it will affect subsequent upgrades. If you are looking at template overriding, then this can be done safely by copying out the theme files you want @ /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/ and place them in /templates/[template_name]/html/com_easysocial to modify it. This modification will stay intact on subsequent upgrades.

3. Currently we don't have a direct settings to disable the responsive feature but what you can do is go to the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/structure/default.php and remove the class "es-responsive".

4. The empty white space in the bottom is not rendered by EasySocial. The white space is there because the page body is not long enough to fit the browser. Refer to screenshot: http://d.pr/i/IiAm
As you can see in the screenshot, the full html page is only 534px tall, while the browser height is taller. You can try adding elements/modules/menu on top of the page in order to extend the height.

Hello Jason,

Thanks for getting back. The user profile login details are provided here

About issue 2, I'm looking to design a template and have the tool bar icons on easysocial added on to the banner like you have on Facebook. Don't know how that's gonna pan out. Any suggestions as to how best to go about this? (See attachment)

And with issue 4, considering that I intend to design a splash page, I guess that design would alter the layout so that should be fine.

Hi,

1. It seems like the language file is not updated to the latest during installation. I've patched it and the string should be loading correctly in the notification now.

2. Perhaps the Toolbar module is what you are looking for? Most templates comes with a top module position to place menu items, and we have customers placing toolbar in that position to achieve the Facebook toolbar style. (It ultimately depends on your template as well)

Hi,

I see that you've removed the class es-responsive and tested your site as well. The responsive is no longer being triggered. Perhaps you should clear your browser cache.

It turned out a lot worse than the responsive template. Trying to change back to the responsive template but I seem to be getting something wrong. Please help with this.

A quick question though, how do I go about adding an icon to the toolbar? Say a logo?

Hi,

You will have to manually edit the codes: /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php
